Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = 1/5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the slope of a perpendicular line, you need to find the opposite and reciprocal of the original slope. Since the original is -5, we first change the sign (which makes it just 5). Now we take that 5 and flip it to get 1/5.

Now that we have the slope as 1/5, we can use that and the intercept in slope-intercept form to get the equation.

y = mx + b

y = 1/5x + 6

Joshua currently does a total of 8 pushups each day. He plans to increase the number of pushups he does each day by 2 pushups un

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y equal number of pushups a day. When x = 1, y = 8. When x = 2, y = 10. 10 is a factor of 30. Multiply y by 3. However, since x increases by 1 when y increases by 2, multiply x by 6 (2*3). That equals 12. Therefore, when x = 12, y = 30.

If g(x) = 3 - 2x, find g(-1).<br> A. -5<br> B. 5<br> C. 0<br> D. 6

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

g(-1)=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Put value of x, which is - 1

$g(x) = 3 - 2x \\ g( - 1) = 3 - 2( - 1) \\ g( - 1) = 3 + 2 \\ g( - 1) = 5$
